In Arjun's words, "What I love most about playing soccer is playing it"! When Arjun goes on a soccer field, he goes into a different zone, focused only on the present moment and on the game he loves. Decisions flow naturally, and in that moment, he feels that this is what he was born to do.
Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7). Arjun is inspired by CR7's work ethic, discipline, and his leadership on the field. Arjun is also inspired by the kind of person Ronaldo is off the field. Ronaldo has given back to everyone who helped him in his journey, and donates his time and money to people and communities in need.
Arjun's soccer journey started three years ago, when he came back home from school with a Post-It note with the phone number of his PE teacher. He asked me to call Coach Max and enroll him in an after school soccer program called Tiny Kicks. I am proud because that drive came from Arjun three years ago, and within two years, he was competing at the highest level for his age.
